I'm going daily, thanks to Paper.li

I Beg Your Parton is going daily! Don't worry I'm not attempting to become the next Rupert Murdoch...This post on GigaOm led me to a startup called Paper.li who offer a pretty cool service that auto creates a daily newspaper style site made up of content from any Twitter username, hashtag or search. It's still in Alpha so there are a few things I would like to change to get my ideal look and feel, but it's pretty nice and surprisingly fun to read a Twitter stream in a more visually engaging style - kind of like Flipboard, but without the need for an app. What I really like is it pulls in content from not just the primary Twitter account used to setup the paper, but also the content from its followers. The real time nature of Twitter means that often you can miss great content passing by in your stream. With the Paper.li daily all that great content is captured for prosperity each and every day - plus with archive. I guess only time will tell if this UI style catches on for consuming Twitter, but If nothing else Paper.li instantly becomes a valuable Twitter backup & archiving tool. Anyway, I'd appreciate you checking it out and subscribing here: http://paper.li/jamesparton Let me know what you think. I hope that as the service develops new features will make the experience even more enjoyable.
